Who may find the programme useful
The schedule combines Welsh-language learning and workforce development with public health information, children’s educational activities and discussions for people working in health and social care. The Wednesday social care session and Thursday digital health panel may be particularly relevant to professionals, while the children’s activities are designed to make infection prevention and antibiotic resistance accessible to younger visitors.
